You can now download and install the iOS 26.5, iPadOS 26.5, macOS 26.5, watchOS 26.5, and tvOS 26.5 public beta 2 updates.
Second Public Beta of iOS 26.5, iPadOS 26.5, macOS 26.5, and More Now Available for Download Over the Air
Apple released the second developer beta of iOS 26.5 and other software updates yesterday. Today, the same updates are available for public beta testers as well.
As usual, visionOS 26.5 is not part of the public beta updates, so you don’t have to worry about that at all.
In order to download the new updates, assuming you do have the initial public beta installed, then just head over to Settings > General > Software Update on your Apple device.
The steps are generally the same across all devices, and at this point I’m sure you know how to go about it as well.
In terms of new features, you won’t find anything at all, except a new splash screen when you open Apple Maps, telling you that ads are coming to it.
